Baby Joshua

We had a surprise this weekend when our little baby boy decided to come 5 weeks earlier than we expected. After an emergency c-section, Joshua David Prior was born at 6:56 a.m. on June 12th. He weighs 6 pounds 3 ounces and is 21 inches long. However, shortly after he was born, he was driven over to the NICU at University Medical Center in Tucson, so he could be more closely monitored and cared for because he is very sick. We appreciate all the prayers and love that have been showered upon us as we are hoping and praying for the best. Chad is caring for little Josh. The kids are not able to go into the intensive care unit but were able to hug their mom. Diana was discharged from St. Joseph's and immediately went to little Joshua's side. She is singing more than just lullabies to this little guy.
